    Tell me about it.

    The first time I walked into the gym for the first week or two one of the coaches would keep callin me Pacquiao. -_-

      Precisely. People hating on someone like Maidana for instance I'm confident have never faced any kind of adversity in the ring.

        I agree though based on the comments on here you can only tell.
        Anybody can go to a gym and move around with somebody, it will give you an idea of what it is like, but still, if you haven't laced 'em up for a sanctioned bout (pro or amateur) than you will never really know. It's the toughest thing out there and respect is in order. But these fools who are clueless to the grind inside of a ring will just continue to belittle and chastise any and every fighter out there. They speak from true ignorance alone and will continue to belittle every fighter in the world when they're actually clueless and in the dark as to what it takes....Rockin'

                  a bunch of fools spouting ignorance and hate, after becoming such common place on thse forums I have grown accustomed to it. Just because some fools want to follow me around does not mean that I should quit speaking my opinions.........Rockin'

                      I trained briefly and I have the utmost respect for fighters but it doesn't mean I can't be critical of them. A lot of fighter bring it on themselves by saying dumb ****. I have more respect for some journeymen than I do for hype jobs with padded records, at least they fight anyone.
